I wouldn't suggest that the US is a happy medium for militarism, but the idea that you can melt down all the weapons and somehow maintain your peace in a world where there are characters like Putin is really dangerous.

The US foreign policy serves to create a demand for their arms industry. It's counterproductive to maintaining peace. Drastic changes would need to take place for this to be a possibility. I'm in favor of those changes. The American military industrial complex is a bigger threat to Americans than Putin is. It's certainly a bigger threat to other countries. The US has had no need to be involved in a conflict it's been in for almost 80 years. The military has literally done us no good since Arpanet.
